Bill > HB05657

This bill requires health care providers to develop an asthma action plan for every child diagnosed with asthma during their mandatory health assessment. The asthma action plan must be included in the health assessment report that providers submit to the local or regional school district where the child attends school. An asthma action plan is typically a personalized document that outlines specific steps for managing a child's asthma, including triggers to avoid, daily medications, how to handle mild and severe asthma symptoms, and emergency contact information. By mandating the creation and inclusion of these plans in school health reports, the bill aims to ensure that schools are aware of and can help support students with asthma, potentially reducing asthma-related health complications and school absences. The bill amends existing sections 10-206 and 10-209 of the general statutes to codify these requirements for health care providers.
